21. The Blade And The Ax
On a bench, in Joe's little shed,
lying not too far apart,
were his ax and his switchblade,
having a quiet heart-to-heart.

The conversation between a blade and an ax is interesting, and it teaches a lesson. Nobody should be proud because of one's usefulness; everybody is needed but in a different way!

Wherever I am, there's always Pooh,

I see you there, hiding in the dark.
Don't be afraid, I am here to help.
Look closely, don't you know me?
You see how I walk and talk; I am Unique!
Help me design my garden of life
Full of iris, crocus, and lily
With daffodils that shine so bright
Like the sun of the greater deities.
If I were a birdie,
I'd head up to the sky.
I'd spread my wings like sunshine.
I know I could fly mighty high!
I love this poem! Very inspiring message! We all can do whatever we set our minds to.
Famous Poem
Lester was given a magic wish
By the goblin who lives in the banyan tree,
And with his wish he wished for two more wishes-
So now instead of just one wish, he cleverly had three.

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WONT'S
I love this poem because I have been writing love letters to my two teenagers and eight year old for fifteen years reminding them of what they shouldn't.
The dolly sat upon the shelf
in the toy maker's shop all by herself.
The dolly only had one eye,
so all the children passed her by.
Wow what a beautiful poem with an even greater message! Representation matters! Our differences make us unique!
A daydream
A world of extreme
A fantasy place
Or even outer space
I just got off the phone with my mom, and this poem made me smile
If I were a queen,
I'd rule a mighty land.
If I were a princess,
I'd take a prince's hand.
Good poem. I'd like a poem that explains just one dream.

Had a quarrel,
And the former called the latter
"Little prig."
I read this poem in 1965 when I carried a paperback book of poems in my backpack when an infantry soldier in Vietnam. We, the infantry group in which I served, were such a collection of...
The littlest Christmas tree
lived in a meadow of green
among a family
of tall evergreens.
